Gerre de' Caprioli, by the Po on Cremona's doorstep

The name comes from the gerre, the sand and gravel banks left by the Po, and that is exactly where the village sits: on the low floodplain south-east of Cremona, a few minutes from the city. It is a small municipality with an older core and newer residential streets made up mostly of houses with gardens.

The population is growing: there are 1,323 residents (2023), up 3.1% since 2011. The average age is 45.3, below the provincial 46.8, and over-65s are 19.8%. Foreign residents account for 6.0%. Average declared incomes are in line with, or a little above, the Cremona average.

Two things matter to buyers. One is closeness to Cremona, reachable even by bike, with its schools, hospital and railway station. The other is the river: Gerre lies in flat, low country near the embankments, and the distance from the Po and its floodplain needs checking house by house. The report does this for the address, using the official flood maps and the land parcel on the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) maps.

Seismic risk is moderate. All 113 municipalities in the province of Cremona are in zone 3, and in Gerre the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is 0.084 g. Even for newer houses, ask for the occupancy certificate and the structural design documents.
